2021 Mitsubishi Mirage SE 4dr Hatchback

Overview

The Mitsubishi Mirage is a subcompact four-door hatchback with great fuel economy geared toward commuters, new drivers, and lovers of small cars with big features. The Mirage is offered in two models, a 5-door hatch and a 4-door sedan, which Mitsubishi calls the Mirage G4. Both are available in ES, LE, Carbonite and SE trims. All are powered by an all-aluminum 1.2L 3-cylinder engine that produces 78 horsepower and 74 ft-lb of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, or Mitsubishi offers an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT). When equipped with the CVT, the Mirage offers an impressive fuel economy rating of 36 mpg city and 43 mpg highway. Mitsubishi claims that no other non-hybrid car can top it. The standard feature list comes off pretty impressively for the price: halogen headlights, power-adjustable mirrors, remote keyless entry, power locks and power windows, 4-speakers, Bluetooth, USB port, auxiliary audio-input jack, automatic climate control, 60/40 split-fold rear seat, stability and traction control and seven airbags. The SE adds Apple Car Play, Android Auto, proximity entry, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, steering wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls. The Mirage offers a range of accessories that allow buyers to upgrade their Mirage with Rockford Fosgate audio, remote start and a parking assist system. For 2021, the Mitsubishi Mirage gets a refreshed exterior as well as forward collision mitigation and a 7-inch touch screen as standard equipment. A new Carbonite Edition trim was also added for the 2021 model year.
